MU9C8148

www.DataSheet4U.com ® S E M I C O N D U C T O R S MUSICI MU9C8148 SRT Interface DATA SHEET DRAFT DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS Supports High-speed Source Routing or Source Routing Transparent Bridging for up to eight ports Glue-free operation with the MUSIC MU9C1480 LANCAM and Texas Instruments’ Token Ring chip set Configurable for either Motorola or Intel processor addressing modes Complies with the IEEE standards for 4 and 16 Mb/s Token Ring Contains a 128-entry Instruction Buffer that holds up to seven down-loadable filtering and purging routines, which can be automatically or directly invoked Automatically selects Source Routed or Transparent filtering routines based on Transceiver output data, and supplies the proper Match, Fail, or Flush signals to the MAC chips Built-in arbitration allows two MU9C8148s to share a central LANCAM database Selectable filtering options for each frame type Frame validity is checked on all Routing Information Fields Manufactured in CMOS technology Available in 68-pin PLCC package and 80-pin TQFP package The MU9C8148 can choose to copy or reject a frame depending on the frame type (MAC, LLC, or reserved), and can perform multiple validity checks on the Routing Information Field (RIF), including general checks on every Routing Control Field (RCF), as well as multiple frame related checks. The Instruction Buffer can be loaded with up to 128 instructions at initialization for the LANCAM routines such as matching, learnin...
